Much has been said about Nicole Polizzi's journey into adulthood by way of parenthood over the past year. Between swearing off boozy nights and making home-cooked Italian meals for her man, any semblance left of her meatball life exists only on Jionni's dinner plate. Snooki has become an entirely different person since Lorenzo was born, but perhaps the most jarring example of her transition from party girl to suburban mom surfaced on tonight's episode of "Snooki & JWOWW," when the guidette sported the accessory of choice for Midwestern, middle-aged women: a FANNY PACK.

"It's so much easier," Snooks says in praise of the throwback style in this "Snooki & JWOWW After Show" bonus clip. "I've been fanny-packing it for awhile now." Surprisingly, even Jenni, who's known widely for her alluring, modern fashions, has also jumped on the trend. "You get a cute Coach or Gucci fanny pack? Nobody can talk s**t!" she says.

The girls are particularly taken with the practical uses of the pack, which include hands-free transport and discreet storage of personal items, such as lipstick and "emergency $20s." Just don't expect either lady to stuff a condom in the secret side compartment: "They smell," Nicole explains. And no one likes a smelly fanny.
